Whats so special

[Buccaneer]

What the builders/importers do not tell you is that the rifles when received as surplus from overseas often has a number of rifles that have bulged barrels at the muzzles from mud or debris being in the barrels as they are shot.

The above might be true for some rifles but not necessarily all as I have a RFI 2A1 "jungle carbine" that is in as new condition and is 1967 dated. As to the question in post #10 all rifles here in the UK have to pass through the proof house before being sold so at least over here we know that they have been 19T pressure tested.
I don't know if the Indian manufacture for the action changed when they converted from .303 to 7.62 but they did make a lot of them over quite a long time.....
